When American swimmer Emma Weber lost one of her swim caps in the pool, someone needed to fish it out. And it was up to the aforementioned hero lifeguard to plunge into the pool in front of thousands of fans to do the retrieval. To huge cheers from the crowd, the lifeguard dove into the pool and picked up the cap at the bottom. “This situation is common at swimming competitions,” a Paris 2024 spokesperson told CNN. For a brief moment on Sunday, we had a look of what that might be like.
